CVE-2020-26558

bluez: Passkey Entry protocol of the Bluetooth Core is vulnerable to an impersonation attack

Published May 24, 2021 CVSS 3.1 · 4.2 Medium EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
Bluetooth LE and BR/EDR secure pairing in Bluetooth Core Specification 2.1 through 5.2 may permit a nearby man-in-the-middle attacker to identify the Passkey used during pairing (in the Passkey authentication procedure) by reflection of the public key and the authentication evidence of the initiating device, potentially permitting this attacker to complete authenticated pairing with the responding device using the correct Passkey for the pairing session. The attack methodology determines the Passkey value one bit at a time.
